# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 pound fresh strawberries, leaves attached and completely dried
02 -
8 ounces good-quality melting chocolate, pick from semi-sweet, milk, or dark
03 -
1 tablespoon coconut oil or plain butter
→ Optional Toppings
04 -
2 tablespoons colorful sprinkles
05 -
2 tablespoons crushed nuts, like pistachios or almonds
06 -
1 teaspoon crunchy sea salt
07 -
2 ounces melted white chocolate for fancy drizzles
# How to Make It:
01 -
Wash strawberries in cold water and gently dry them completely with paper towels. Make sure they're totally dry because any water drops will mess up your chocolate coating.
02 -
Put your chocolate and coconut oil or butter in a bowl safe for the microwave. Heat it in short 20-second bursts, making sure to stir well after each time, until it's smooth and shiny. Don't overheat it or it'll burn.
03 -
Grab each strawberry by its leafy top and dunk it into your melted chocolate, turning it around for full coverage. Let extra chocolate drip off before laying it on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.
04 -
Right away, while chocolate's still sticky, add your favorite toppings by sprinkling them over or rolling the berries in them. You can also zigzag some melted white chocolate on top.
05 -
Pop the decorated strawberries in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate gets firm. They taste best when served cool.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Making sure strawberries are completely dry is super important or your chocolate will clump up. Grab the best chocolate you can find for tastier results, and a quick chill makes the coating nice and crisp.
02 -
Don't stack your finished strawberries when storing them or you'll ruin that perfect chocolate shell.
03 -
Always use fresh strawberries. Thawed frozen ones will get soggy and ruin the whole thing.
